Personal Description:

My name is Leon and I provide tuition and training for computing subjects ranging from the basics of Excel spreadsheets through to advanced software applications programming for web, desktop and mobile platforms.

Being a software developer by trade, my experience of working on commercial software development projects can be used as an advantage to provide an insight to how the lessons taught are applied to the real world as well as being able to give an insight to possible paths to a desired career in computing for those looking to enter the industry. Additionally, my knowledge about IT security in relation to developing software systems allows me to teach best practices for developing secure systems with faster capabilities to react to new security concerns - I was also hired by Imagine Publishing to write two feature articles on this subject for their Web Designer magazine.

Training Experience:

I have provided tuition at all levels for subjects on computing from GCSE and A-Level, to commercial training for organisations including O2, Sage and the NHS.

Training Approach:

One to one tuition is the most effects for individuals with a specific need for training or tuition relating to programming because this allows sessions to be tailored specific to the learner in terms of the types of example problem to solve. This type of session would be delivered using the pair programming approach, where an example application is developed and adapted in collaboration with the learner.

Group training/tuition is also an option, but care must be taken to ensure that all members of the group have the same level of skill to enable the course to benefit everyone as it is intended. This type of training would also have a more rigid approach compared to one to one tuition, with a fixed path from start to completion, hence members of the group need to invest more consideration to their learning goals in advance of the course.

Both group and one to one tuition courses make use of course delivery system where required that provides access to notes, code examples and exercise information for the course.
